Nathan Ostler, FNP, began his work at Warner Family Practice in 2017.

“When working with me, we will work to manage more than just a health condition, but the body as a whole.”

Nathan Ostler’s Story

Nathan grew up in Tempe, Arizona, the third of six children. Interestingly, he was raised five miles from Warner Family Practice. An avid athlete, Nathan participated in cross-country, soccer and track and field, and graduated from Tempe High School.

While at a track and field event at San Diego State University where parent athletes were attempting to qualify for the Olympic trials, Nathan was jogging on the infield and nearly tripped over a prosthetic leg. It was then that he decided to work toward being a physical therapist, hoping to work with prosthetics. While working toward that degree, he interacted with a number of nurses and premed students, which caused him to enter into nursing.

Preventative medicine, Nathan believes, should be the basis for healthcare and health promotion. Not only does preventative health management avoid future problems, it also promotes quality of life with more time and energy devoted to enjoyable activities as opposed to health management activities.

Nathan enjoys finding solutions for individuals with complex problems. He has a particular interest in vulnerable populations, people that have extraordinary challenges and limited resources to rise to those challenges. It is tremendously rewarding when chronic health conditions are minimized and people feel better about themselves, their bodies and their quality of life.

Because Nathan is not a perfect man and doesn’t expect his patients to be perfect either, his goal is to develop trust and honesty to maximize health potentials. We cannot erase our past but we can create a vastly different future if we are determined and develop the knowledge to succeed.

“Minimizing the consequences of complications from long-term disease or avoidance of negative health disparities in the individuals that I work with is very rewarding. Looking back and seeing the progress that we have made with diet, lifestyle, independence and acquiring a quality-of-life not yet achieved, are benchmarks to celebrate.”

Nathan spends the majority of his free time working and playing with his children. They enjoy riding bikes, taking walks, tickling and playing kickball.

What Nathan Ostler, FNP, Wants You to Know About Him

“Most people don’t realize that the first step in most treatment plans is lifestyle modifications, changes in what and how we eat, what we drink, how we exercise, how and when we sleep and so on. Minimizing unnecessary medications by improving how we live and what we do should be the basis of comprehensive and holistic management of our health. When working with me, we will work to manage more than just a health condition, but the body as a whole.”
